General Discussion - whats your opinion about divination cards - Forum

Well, speaking about that: Dropped in Graveyard. So, seing as the new map system locks you in circling between 72 & 74 maps, I might actually loot that 6L astral in... about 300 hrs? :p When night falls She cloaks the world In impenetrable darkness	Posted by morbo on Jul 18, 2015, 3:35:45 PM Quote this Post

I certainly don't forgo everything else and farm a mundane zone over and over and over where that unique div card drops. Just to drop 1 card after several dozen hours if I'm lucky, only to realise, eventually, what the intention was. I'm supposed to now go and buy the other cards to make up the set, from the 1 in x000 people who passively dropped one as they levelled. But I realised this as soon as they were announced. I'll give you that there are some, very few, cards that in a temp league a solo self found player may farm up the low rarity build enabler. I'd personally just wait for the unique to drop maybe chance bases, too, while progressing. More likely, the solo self found player choosing to farm the cards will get so pissed off with having 3/10ths, 5/11ths, 2/7ths of the unique after spending this otherwise wasted time in bad progression and just go to poe.trade. Sorry, grepman, divination cards are to solo self found what a bicycle is to a fish. Divination cards are to an economy player what a bicycle is to a middle aged, environmentalist, keep fit enthusiast in the city of York. They had a purpose, to make money from support packs and add more to the economy of the game, nothing more and in any way using solo self found as a reason is stretching it to breaking point. well I would disagree but you know better so shrug div. cards are that guaranteed drop of items poe lacked for a time, with caveat that you have to farm the same area not unlike in d2 where youd farm bosses. a common unique such as tabula can be easily assembled by farming zones that are good for xp, such as aqueducts. I dont see how its a bad thing for SSF, but again- you know better or for example, the 'lover' card gives you a random jewelry which is super helpful for chaos/regal recipes I got 8 cards from 2 necropolis maps last night which equaled 4 extra recipe pieces. and so on I thought SSF would like the prospect of getting what they want on demand without RNG, but I guess you're fine with waiting a few months for it to drop and only then building around it. eh I guess, ssf is a tricky business, good thing Im an atheist funny though, I couldve sweorn members of SSF hated the RNG drop aspect and wanted something guaranteed. I guess not.	Posted by grepman on Jul 18, 2015, 4:19:43 PM Quote this Post
I am a bit disappointed regarding div cards. I did 10 (?) Overgrown Shrine Maps with around 200% Quantity today and didn't get a single "The Dark Mage"-card. (in fact not even a single card of any type) I totally understand the reasoning behind making stuff like that rare, but at this rate, why even bother? What bothers me though is the challenge to complete 32 sets. How on earth will anyone be able to complete this? Perception is reality.	Posted by widardd on Jul 18, 2015, 5:39:49 PM Quote this Post

As for the card I mentioned it would be 300c (if there would actually be 6 cards). 300c to get 1/32 of a challenge? Or shall we take The Fiend or The Doctor as an example where a single card is available for 10ex? :P Perception is reality.	Posted by widardd on Jul 18, 2015, 6:34:18 PM Quote this Post
Trade in 5x Gambler, receive 1x Gambler. LOL this game. Shop closed until further notice. Check out my Dominus musical tribute instead: https://soundcloud.com/hackproducer0815/dominus	Posted by OwVEmrkMLX on Jul 19, 2015, 4:37:21 AM Quote this Post
Most rare cards should have alot more required amount of cards to complete with buffed droprate so ppl dont run 1map for a 6h and nothing drop. U wanted to give ppl a option to farm without too much rng so give them that. I would rather go chancing for uniqs than farming the most rare cards(because its rng multiplied by amount of cards needed not only rng of chancing uniq) in short:more consistent drops	Posted by davinci663 on Jul 19, 2015, 8:52:42 AM Quote this Post

My opinion: The cards are to damn rare.	Posted by kauai on Jul 20, 2015, 1:14:46 AM Quote this Post
Some of them are too redundant, i mean there are at last 3 card set that gives you chaos orbs. Yet i am still here with this, giving only one chaos I have found like 40 during this time, not to mention the chaos recipe.
